466 APPENDIX. 



which, since there are to be no embellishments, may probably be got up so as to sell 

 at the price you would like to fix. I shall be in Edinburgh on the 29th, and the 

 printing may then go on as rapidly as you choose, as I shall have more copy than 

 can be used for this volume. 



" You will oblige me greatly by sending me a biU for £150, which I could dis- 

 count at Kendal, at Messrs. Wakefield. This would be a great convenience for 

 me, just at present, on the eve of my leaving the neighborhood. This request is 

 rather before date, but I will send my receipt for the money, and in final settle- 

 ment consider the former. 



" As I leave this on Thursday, the 27th, I hope to hear from you a few days 

 before in answer to this. 



" I am, my dear sir, yours very truly, 



"John Wilson." 



Mr. Lockhart to Mr. Boyd. 



" Chiefs wood, Saturday Evening. 



" My dear Sir : — I was just about to lose all patience, or to take it for granted 

 the Professor was defunct, when I received this evening a letter from him, in 

 which he announces his having sent to you three articles, and his intention to send 

 more in a few days. He also says he has told you to begin the volume with 

 my ' Hints on Universities.' Since he thinks so, so be it. After the ' Hints,' 

 please set up in the following order : — 



" Article 2. Ordeal by Fire ; 3. Specimens of the Rabbin Apologue ; 4. Sonnets 

 from the German ; 5. Thoughts on Bores ; 6. Maxims, after which (as mentioned 

 on the slip) the little article 'Leaves,' now sent; 7. Then set up one of the Pro- 

 fessor's articles, a longish one, whichever of the three you like ; 8. Then the 

 Friesland Proverbs, now sent ; 9. Moustache, now sent ; 10. The Player and his 

 Poodle, now sent; 11. The Return, from Goethe, now sent ; 12. Jews of Worms, 

 now sent; 13. Another of Mr. Wilson's articles, now sent; 14. To Death, from 

 the German, now sent; 15. Glasgow Revisited, now sent; 16. Maclean of Aros, 

 now sent; 17. Serenade, from Goethe, now sent; 18. Another of the Professor's 

 articles, now sent; 19. Song of tho Gipsy King, now sent; 20. Inscription at 

 Hoch-heim, now sent; 21. Epitaph of De Ranzau, now sent; 22. Epigrams, now 

 sent ; 23. Essence of the Opera, now sent ; 24. Ballad from the Norman French. 



" In regard to all these you need not bother yourself with slips, but set up in 

 sheets. That sent as specimen is most beautiful, and I never saw proofs that 

 needed so little correction. I am called from home for some days, but if I be 

 not back very soon I shall let you know where to address (when I am concerned 

 with the correcting of them). In the mean time, don't send any to this place until 

 you hear from me. I have corrected the proofs formerly sent, so that you may at 

 once go on as merrily as you choose. 



" Of course you will send the Professor proofs of every thing. 



" Yours truly, 



"J. G. Lockhart. 



"From Mr. Wilson, 17th Oitober, 1825: — 



" Antipathies ; Dante and Milton ; on the character Buonapartic."
